A Difficult Century Forming Of The World Government - 1,887 words
A Difficult Century - Forming Of The World
Government According to Held, Today, the
mechanisms we have for enforcing international law
depend too much on whether a powerful
geo-political force such as the U.S. is willing to
commit resources to the problem. In such a
situation, a big state will likely do what it
desires, acting in its own interests. Recent
developments in Kosovo, Chechnya, Iran and other
states in some kind of a conflict have just proven
the above statement. Presently the most important
developments in international law and relations
between states are, almost exclusively, dictated
by the Great Powers. The General Assembly of the
UN is probably the only part of UN that repres ...

A Separate Peace: The Dying Legacy - 1,345 words
A Separate Peace: The Dying Legacy By early 1918
in Russia, the Bolsheviks controlled only the
north-western area of the Russian Empire
(Petrograd and Moscow) together with the areas
between and around them. Various opposition groups
were formed against the Bolsheviks, under the new
Provisional Government. The provisional government
had proposed elections for a new assembly in late
1917; Lenin had seen that the Bolsheviks must act
before this democratically elected government
convened, but once in power, he allowed the
elections to proceed. In the November 1917 polls,
Bolshevik candidates won just under 25 per cent of
the vote, while the moderate socialists polled
over 40 per cent. Lenin sen ...

Aborigines And Their Place In Politics - 1,065 words
Aborigines And Their Place In Politics For much of
their history, Australias major parties did not
perceive a need to have Aboriginal affairs
policies, but this altered in the 1960s and 1970s
as the Aboriginal interest came to occupy a more
prominent position. The policies of recent major
governments, those being the Australian Labor
Party (ALP) and the Coalition, consisting of the
Liberal Party and National Party, have changed
drastically since the Federation of Australia. The
approaches throughout history of these major
parties will be discussed briefly in order to gain
an understanding of the foundation of each partys
beliefs and platforms in regards to Aborigines.

Liberal Party reached an agreement with all states
and territories to develop critical plans, in
association with indigenous people, for the
coordination of funding and service delivery aimed
at reducing indigenous over-representation in the
criminal justice system. This shows that the
Liberal government is addressing the problem of
Aboriginal deaths in custody, and giving weight to
the issue in regards to their policies. While
governments did in fact begin to respond to some
of the affects of forcible removal during the
1980s, it was during the Labor governments reign
that the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths
in Custody handed down its ...

Abortion - 346 words
Abortion Why Abortion Must Be Legal Women must
have access to safe abortion. No matter how any of
us feel about embryos and fetuses and their
rights...about women and sex and
responsibility...about God's will, Karma, or the
Bible...the fact still remains: Women have always
used abortion as a last resort to prevent the
birth of a child, and they always will, regardless
of what the laws say or the rest of us think. But
when abortion is illegal, it is unsafe and
dangerous. Therefore, abortion must be legal, and
it must be accessible too. Here are some reasons
why legal abortion is necessary, taken from
various sources available online and offline. Even
if you disagree, take a look! Laws agains ...

Abortion Crtical Analysis - 543 words
Abortion - Crtical Analysis Ellen Willis has
written this article based on personal views,
opinions and experiences. She openly expresses
that the issue of abortion is a womans issue and
should therefore be discussed with the woman in
mind. She accepts the fact that others consider
abortion to be a life issue and understands their
feelings as to why they argue this point. It is
recognized very early on that Ms. Willis is a
feminist arguing the fact the fetus occupies a
womans body to become a human being. She is trying
to emphasize that in the pursuit to save a fetus
that the womans feelings, body and life are being
forgotten. The article continues on arguing the
point that the fetus should ...

Abuses Of The Medieval Catholic Clergy - 1,431 words
Abuses of the Medieval Catholic Clergy The Dark
Ages of Europe were called such for several
reasons. One of the more notorious reasons was the
state of the Catholic Church. In the years before
the Reformation, members of the Catholic clergy
had reached an all time low in terms of their
morality. The abuses of clerical power and
privileges by the medieval clergy spanned all
parts of their daily lives. Members of the
Catholic clergy were financially, politically and
socially corrupt. Each of these corruptions made
up the enormous religious corruption that was the
logical result of such debauchery. Of the several
grievances against the Church, [t]he first and
sorest was that she loved money, an ...

Adrienne Rich - 1,231 words
Adrienne Rich "From where does your strength come,
you southern jew/ split at the root, raised in a
castle of air". This is a quote from Adrienne
Rich's 1982 essay, "Sources". Adrienne Rich is a
southern jew who grew up in the forties. As she
grew up, her father hid the fact that they were
Jewish. Her father acted like he was fully
assimilated and didn't show ethnicity in any way.
He did this to fit into society that was against
Jewish people. This quote reflects one of many
themes Rich deals with in her poetry. The theme is
racism, hate, and bigotry. In many of Rich's works
she talks about being oppressed. In the poems,
"1948: Jews", "Two Arts", and "A Vision" there is
a theme of oppression ...

Affirmative Action - 1,035 words
Affirmative Action? Affirmative Action? A major
controversy encompassing the country is the issue
of affirmative action. Many believe that the
abolition, or at least restructure, of affirmative
action in the United States will benefit the
nation for many logical reasons. Originally,
affirmative action began as an attempt to
eliminate discrimination and provide a source of
opportunity; affirmative action did not begin as
an attempt to support just minorities and women.
In addition, affirmative action naturally creates
resentment when the less qualified are preferred
instead of the people actually deserve the
admission or job. Another reason that has existed
since the abolition of slavery is t ...

Alternative Cinema - 1,558 words
Alternative Cinema The term alternative cinema has
certain connotations. To many, it is not
alternative, instead it is the way cinema was
meant to be viewed, in that the viewer should be
able to define the film in their own personal
terms. In the following essay, I will firstly
examine what the term alternative cinema means,
and secondly how Brechts theories are evident in
many elements of the films that have been
pigeon-holed as alternative cinema. The word
alternative is described in Collins English
Dictionary as: "Denoting a lifestyle, culture, art
form, etc., regarded by its adherents as
preferable to that of contemporary society because
it is less conventional, materialistic, or institu ...

America: The Myth Of Equality - 1,313 words
America: The Myth Of Equality America The Myth of
Equality To many, the Unites States serves as the
ideal model of democracy for the modern world.
Yet, how truly worthy is America of this status?
Although it has been said that, "Equality is as
American as baseball, hot dogs, and apple pie,"
one must be extremely critical when analyzing such
a statement. By taking a historical perspective to
the question of how "equal" American equality
actually is, it is simple to recognize how
problematic the "Land of the Free" mentality can
be. The early America's most prominent thinkers
have been sensationalized and given credit for
developing a free and equal system. However, one
can recognize that their ...

in Transition For the United States, as for most
states in the world, the 1980's and 1990's were a
time of change and challenge. During this period
the effects of change both within the US and
internationally acted as push factors in many
areas of life, including economics and politics.
This sudden change was primarily due to global
shocks and recessions, increased foreign economic
competition, the end of the Cold War and the
demise of the Soviet Union, the development of
revolutionary new technologies, the achievement of
post-industrial society within the US, slower
rates of domestic economic growth, and the

Analyzing Persian Gulf Crisis Between Iraq And Kuwait - 508 words
Analyzing Persian Gulf Crisis Between Iraq And
Kuwait In analyzing the Persian Gulf Crisis
originally between Iraq and Kuwait, one must first
understand the factors that contributed to the
conflict. In 1980, Iraq carried out a major air
and land attack on Iran. For eight years, the
Iran-Iraq War grew more intense, until the U.S.
"accidentally" downed an Iranian plane, killing
290 passengers. Three factors contributed to this
war: (1) territorial dispute, (2) religious
disputes between Islamic moderates and
fundamentalists, and more importantly, (3) a
personality conflict (also known as ego-mania)
between Saddam Hussein, Iraq's president, and
Ayatollah Khomein, the leader of Iran. During this ...
